Waste we process
As a leading supplier of specialist waste treatment, disposal and recycling services, we handle over 200,000 tonnes of waste per year, so are able to process a wide-range of waste materials.
We are able to treat and recycle vast quantities of both Calcium Hydroxide and Sodium Carbonate based Air Pollution Control Residue (APCr) in bags and powder tankers across all 3 of the treatment plants.
Castle has a fantastic in-house treatment offering for a wide variety of Acidic and Alkaline liquids, sludges, solids and powders. The ability to process highly concentrated Acids and Alkalis gives us a competitive advantage over the majority of other treatment plants.
The ability to process highly specialised wastes such as Ammonia and Amines is a further unique selling point enjoyed by the Company. Similarly, the state of the art Secure Destruction Process operation at the Ilkeston treatment facility sees Castle offer a unique and bespoke solution to the need for the robust and secure destruction of hazardous and non-hazardous finished products.
Our expertly managed sewer discharge agreements with the local water authorities, means the Stoke-on-Trent and Cardiff sites are both specialists when it comes to the treatment of high volume bulk effluents and contaminated waters.

Our process
At Castle Environmental we give our clients the full benefit of our experience and best practice, from initial contact, analysis and receipt of waste, right through to the finished job.
Our priority is to find the best waste solutions and give customers peace of mind that their waste has been dealt with effectively, ensuring full legal compliance and protection from prosecution.
Stage One
Initial Contact
Our first priority, from initial contact with a customer, is to establish the make-up of material waste to dispose of. This can either come through a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or through our assessment and classification process.
Stage Two
Assessment
The Technical Sales Office complete a full technical assessment on the waste. The team will classify the material, including chemical composition (nature of the waste), volume and frequency, packaging and transportation and commercial expectations.
If a sample is required, our on-site laboratories allow us to analyse samples, ensuring accurate information about the nature of the waste.
Stage Three
Classification
Once fully assessed, the team will assign the correct Hazard Code, EWC Code and UN Number
Waste is routed to the specific, suitable treatment process. This is cross-referenced with a strict legal framework to ensure the correct waste stream and process are matched.
Stage Four
Quotation
Quotation is given to the customer, underpinned by the assessment, along with all required legal paperwork and documentation. Further feedback and discussion around any other needs of the customer can occur.
Stage Five
Waste Received
Waste is received and analysed – appropriate testing is carried out to determine that the waste is the same as the original sample.
Waste on pallets is scanned and barcoded, ensuring that it’s documented as stock on site, until processing. By scanning waste as it arrives on to site and then as it’s processed through site, we are able to provide full traceability of materials arriving on site.
Stage Six
Waste Processed With All Legal Compliance
The customer receives confirmation of receipt of waste, to confirm legal ownership and certification.
Waste is processed in the agreed way. The customer gains peace of mind that waste has been disposed of by a legitimate and professional company, with all legal compliance in place.
